Located in historic downtown Lakeville, 

we make full-flavored, malt-forward beer that’s approachable enough for anyone’s palate.

Located right on Holyoke Ave, brewer owned and operated, Angry Inch Brewing makes Belgian-inspired brews—with our own twists. Always striving for a balance of flavor, tradition and craft, our beer runs the gamut on styles from the traditional to the experimental.

The taproom itself offers a classic, clean cut homage to Minnesota past and present. The bar is constructed with the reclaimed mahogany from old Minnesota bleacher seats. Above the seating area, wagon wheel growler chandeliers showcase many of our favorite local breweries and shed light on a perfect night with friends or family. Look in the back, and you might see our founder and head brewer, Jon, operating our 7bbl brew system to delicious perfection. Outside, our dog-friendly patio offers a breath of fresh air, our custom-built corn hole boards and plenty of seating for you to enjoy your beer the way Mother Nature intended. Every corner speaks to the dream we’ve shared for years.

Combine the beer with the taproom, and you’ve got the result of one big dream turned into one tiny business. A brewery in a beautiful, historic downtown that serves great beer to great people.

ANGRY INCH BREWING

THE STORY BEHIND THE NAME

"It all began with a game of charades gone terribly, terribly wrong" says Jon. During a riveting game of "Time's Up,” and while imbibing on a few of home brews, Jon confused the children's book "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" for the 90's rock musical "Hedwig and the Angry Inch." Clearly confused, and unable to convince his partner in the game of the connection, it became a running joke that Jon thought "Hedwig" was a kids book, and while brewing in the garage one night the name Angry Inch Brewing was suggested—and it stuck!

JON ERICKSON

CO-Founder/ Head Brewer

With a background in biology and auto mechanics, Jon always figured he’d be fixing plant-based cars for a living. That was before he started home brewing back in 2011. When that hobby turned into something a whole lot bigger, Jon was able to combine his background with a passion for cooking and creating new recipes into a career as a head brewer.

Favorite AiB beer: Naked Hop Party (West Cost IPA)

CHRIS ERICKSON

Assistant Director of Sustainability

We offered him the title of Director, but he said that was too prestigious. Always maintaining an environmentally-forward thought process, Chris composts our hops and always pushes us to do what is right for the Earth. From installing all LED lights throughout the brewery, recycling every bit possible from the build out, donating our spent grains to a local farmer and reclaiming the groundwater we use to cool our wort, he drives us to be more ecologically minded every day!

Favorite AiB beer: Papa’s Secret Stash (Imperial Coffee Porter)
